*Winston Churchill Munoz-Villaplana
AFF: Bikes
PLAN: The USFG should amend federal tax law to remedy discrimination against cyclists. Rather than a
totalizing endorsement of federal tax code, our advocacy should be understood as an expression of how the
tax code should be if it is to exist at all. Above all, our advocacy should be understood within the context of
the 1ac as an endorsement of bicycle, activism, or biketivism, and a protest against the way society is
organized around automobiles.
